I'm still learning myself. I'm working hard on affiliate marketing and My Instant Biz. So far My Instant Biz is the only one that seems to be working for me.

If you're new to affiliate marketing, I would like to suggest My Online Income System (MOIS). It's an excellent tool for beginner affiliate marketers, walks you step by step through affiliate marketing, how to promote and where. It has some excellent reviews here in the forum, haven't heard a bad thing about it. I joined about a month and a half ago. The cost wasn't too bad, $17 one time fee. I've seen an increase in my adsense revenue if nothing else. The only downside is article marketing and that's if you don't like to write articles but other than that, it's a pretty good program.

talliniowa1961,
I suggest you rethink your approach to the idea of working from home. MLM and affiliate marketing requires money investment and special computer skills like SEO, coding, marketing, site managing, web-mastering and so on...
You can learn all these but it will take a long, long time until you will see some profit from it.

I use a different approach, I take online paid surveys. Skills you need to do so...absolutely none! My technique is to register to as much paid survey companies, make a list and eliminate those that look like scams and don't pay you.
Never register to paid surveys list, never pay to get hired.

I make this way $500 each month and squeeze the survey companies for that amount each month.

Regardless what route you go... affiliate marketing - surveys - mlm - network marketing... it all takes work and deditcation.

I have tried most of the above and my experience was:

mlm - it works but I didn't like the fact of trying to recruit people all the time

surveys - all I ever got was a headache and sobbing spell (and I am NOT the sobbing kind....)

affiliate marketing - lots of effort and work pays off... I don't mind writing so building blogs, writing articles, Squidoo lenses and adding content to my sites are fun

affiliate marketing with local vendors - marketing their products for commissions on Ebay, Craigslist etc... (I have done fairly well at this )

All of the above ( except for doing surveys) take a certain amount of internet marketing skills so that is still where your learning curve will be at and that is where programs like MOIS, 30 day challenge, Bum Marketing, OWM, Pl etc come in...

Hope that helps!

Pajama Affiliate Marketing Course ~ THIS is BY FAR, the best blogging/affiliate marketing course available on the web today. I had given up on affiliate marketing a few years ago... and then I found this. End of Search. Forever.

Bum marketing is a great place to start as well as a good education on what it takes to make money online. All it costs you with bum marketing is your time. No matter what direction you do plan to go, you are going to have to be focused and dedicated. If you treat it like a hobby, thats all it is going to be. If you treat it like a job, then your chances of success are much higher.
